The 17 shortest celebrity marriages of all time

Unlike us "normal folk" who get divorced or have their marriages annulled, famous people don't get the luxury of privacy during those trying times.

That means that the entire world knows when, why, and how they decide to call it quits. Even more so when that life-long commitment doesn't even last a year.

Here are the shortest celebrity marriages of all time:

17. Jennifer Lopez and Cris Judd: 218 days

Lopez met Judd back in 2001 when he worked as a back-up dancer in her "Love Don't Cost a Thing" video. They got engaged and married within the year, but the marriage came crashing down 218 days later.

Judd doesn't blame the limelight for their failed marriage, but it certainly wasn't his favorite part of their time together.

"You know it's very tough," Judd said while reminiscing on their relationship with Us Weekly in 2014. "Your privacy is breached. You're no longer a normal person. [Our wedding] was a circus. I think several people got arrested trying to climb up a mountain … trying to sneak in. We actually rented the airspace."

16. Elizabeth Taylor and Conrad "Nicky" Hilton: 205 days

She was 18 at the time she said "I do" to the hotel heir. Her first marriage (out of eight) ended before she even turned 19.

In her 1965 memoir, Taylor said the marriage was practically over by the time they returned from their two-week honeymoon. By the time the divorce was final, they'd been together 205 days.

14. Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush: 163 days

These teen drama co-stars said their vows in April 2005 in a Malibu ceremony. They officially separated just five months later and Bush filed for annulment. When that was denied, the couple had to wait until December 2006 until their divorce was finalized.

On September 15 2005, Zellweger filed papers citing "fraud" as their reason for separation. The ordeal was dragged out through several gossip magazines and websites, but over ten years later, she's finally forgotten all about it.

"I forgot about that," she said during an interview with The Advocate. "It's a pretty big thing to forget, isn't it? That made me sad. It made me sad that somehow people were using that as a way to be cruel and calling someone gay as a pejorative, which has fateful consequences. Of course, there's the bigger-picture problem of why anyone had to make up a story at all."

12. Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock: 122 days

If you thought two people couldn't be more perfect together, then you were wrong. While this relationship might have seemed good in theory, it was apparently quite the opposite, according to Kid Rock.

"Not really," the singer said when Ellen DeGeneres asked if they kept in touch. "If I saw her somewhere I'd say hi, but I try not to go in the same circles. I touched stove, stove was hot, I think I not touch stove anymore."

11. Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito: 122 days

"It was just something that happened," Cooper said during an interview on Howard Stern's XM show. "The good thing is, we both realized it ... Sometimes you just realize it."

10. Lisa Marie Presley and Nicolas Cage: 107 days

Presley — the only child of singer Elvis Presley — said "I do" to the Oscar winning actor on the 25th anniversary of her father's death in 2002. The couple split three short months later and they both kept tight lips about the reasoning why.

8. Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries: 72 days

This marriage (and divorce) was easily one of the most talked about celebrity relationships ever, but if you need a refresher here it is: Reality star Kim Kardashian said yes when NBA player Kris Humphries got down on one knee in May 2011. They got married in August of that year and by Halloween they were filing for divorce.

Everyone thought their 72 day marriage was a publicity stunt put on by the Kardashians and E! Entertainment, but both parties deny, deny, deny.

"First and foremost, I married for love," she said in an official blog post. "I can't believe I even have to defend this. I would not have spent so much time on something just for a TV show!"

7. Pamela Anderson and Rick Salomon: 60 days

Her marriage with Kid Rock was short, but her one with Rick Salomon was even shorter. The "Baywatch" star married Salomon (for the first time) in October 2007 in Las Vegas and Anderson filed to have it all dissolved on December 14 later that year.

Their first separation wasn't nearly as bad as their second. There were harsh words and accusations thrown around in the court, but their post-hearing statement summed up how every celebrity probably feels about such public cases.

"Public divorces can be harsh and cruel — we apologize to our families and friends for any hurt and embarrassment we have caused — we have come to an amicable agreement and are moving on," they said. "There are private and personal family sensitivities to consider and we retract any hurtful comments made in haste and distaste. We wish each other and our families well."

6. Drew Barrymore and Jeremy Thomas: 39 days

Anderson wasn't the only star to land on this list twice. Barrymore also has more than one experience with brief marriages.

"I was married to a lovely lady who was a star," he said. "I was married to her for 32 days and that was enough."

4. Ali Landry and Mario Lopez: 18 days

In April 2004, Lopez said his vows to Landry while knowing that he'd been with other women just days before. Instead of calling it quits before they traded rings, Lopez waited until Landry found out he had cheated on her.

"I've always believed it best to admit one's mistakes as quickly as possible," she said in the statement as an explanation for their short nuptials.

2. (TIE) Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman: 9 days

Their marriage didn't officially come to an end until a year had passed, but just nine days after marrying the model on the November 14 1998, Rodman filed for an annulment claiming that he was intoxicated when they said their vows.

"Our relationship was very passionate. When it was good, it was amazing. And when it was bad, it was the worst," she said in an interview with Oprah in 2014.

"It happened so fast," she continued. "It was so spontaneous, and I remember right after, 'Oh god, what did we do?'"

This record-breaking marriage came to an end just 55 hours after it became official. After ringing in the new year in 2004, the pop singer went to (you guessed it!) Vegas to tie the knot with her childhood friend.
